Mr Skewes says the visit provides the opportunity for students and staff to quiz Kristi and Chelsea about life as basketballers, as well as Kristi’s and Chelsea’s 2012 Olympics experience when Kristi, as member of the Opals, competed against Chelsea who represented Canada.

A positive local relationship

‘We are proud to support the Bendigo Spirit and have enjoyed an excellent relationship with them through our sponsorship,’ said Mr Skewes.

‘The on-campus clinics run by the Bendigo Spirit team have made a valuable contribution to student life and the school visits they have conducted on our behalf have been most helpful in promoting the leading sports courses that we run here.
